i think you're writing him off too soon. One failed spell doesn't mean much. He still has time and quality on his side. Its currently hard for swansea to drop any of their midfield players when they're doing so well though i expect him to get a chance towards the end of the season.
Been quite a few lightweight players done good over the years Johnny Giles, Dennis Wise, Luca Mercenary etc
If I was managing Mc Eachran, I would be giving Chelsea an ultimatum about now, either play him regularly in the 1st Team next season, or watch him walk away. Actually with the fee he would command , he could drive away in an Aston Martin .
Its strange that he doesn't command a regular spot in the Swansea side , particularly with Brendan Rodgers who has over seen his development since he was a kid! It cant be this "lightweight" thing! Has he been sussed and cant deliver any more ?
Don't think that's the case, more that the incumbent mids at Swansea are going pretty well. I think once their position in the PL is safe we might see him get a game or 2. I'd have him in our midfield in a heartbeat. Should be playing every other game for us, developing, maturing and gaining experience. Pointless warming his bum on a Swansea bench. Mind you, same could be said for 3 or 4 others in our youth team. As usual, we missed the chance to bring them on early season. Now things are pear shaped, not much chance for Robbie to expose them to such pressure. Another year, another opportunity lost. We never seem to learn.
Glad to see Bertrand now getting into the side, he was very good for us at Norwich when we had him on loan from you. We constantly switched him between left wing and left back and didn't look at all out of place in either! I said to my missus (who is a Chelsea fan) at the time, I could see him making the chelsea starting eleven and I thought he did brilliantly in your last game to be fair. Also looks like letting Scott Sinclair go was a bit premature, I know he's not quite as good as the other players at Chelsea but I think he could still become an England player.
Bertrand has been fantastic and Todd Kane will be the same at right back too. Loan Kane out next season then he'll be ready!
Add him to the list CFCTEL, we have some cracking youngsters .In a funny way, we maybe have too many !!!! We can't bring the lot through at once, but there are at least 6 who deserve to be in the top squad. Surely even the dunderheads who run our club can see the wisdom of a steady trickle of youngsters coming through ???????? Or maybe not.
Arsenal fan...isnt hutchison the one that retired only to come back to cfc this year...if so its no surprise considering his lack of match fitness. Youve got some great talents coming through hope to see them.in the pl soon. Particularly like piazon and savile.
I think Brendan Rodgers will probably give your lad a run now we appear to be safe. It's a shame we couldn't play him more but his debut didn't go brilliantly (did get played against the wrong opposition though) although I think more significantly Britton and Allen have been amazing, and Siggy has of course closed out that third CM/AM spot.
By the way, letting Sinclair go was IMO a poor decision on the part of the Chelsea management, at that price - although i'm certainly not complaining! Still, I suppose his opportunities were limited behind Malouda and would've stayed limited behind Mata.

was hoping that englands 2014 midfield would be josh, cleverley, oxo and wilshere. maybe josh can be loaned to southampton who play his type of football
If Southampton get to the PL next year I'd be all for it (as long as you play him unlike Swansea
)
